Playback Theater is a form of improvisational theater where an audience member tells a true story and then watches it enacted on the spot by a group of trained actors and musicians. It was developed by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas in the 1970s and is now practiced internationally in schools, corporations, peace and conflict work, and more.
